This self-titled debut CD recording from these young mavericks of the percussion world features the recording premieres of two ground-breaking works by David Lang and Evan Ziporyn; with a unique combination of homemade instruments and those more traditionally found in the classical, rock, and world music scenes. Evan Ziporyn's Balinese gamelan-influenced "Melody Competition" intermixes a lush soundscape with a driving competition between the players. David Lang's "so-called laws of nature," written for So Percussion, is simultaneously meditative and climactic - brought to life by So, who chose their own instruments, from giant pipes to flower pots.
